Thank you Slim , This tractor maintenance is new to me , I am going to order the shop manual as soon AS I can .I have to USE the Branson filters AS I dont want to vold the warrenty.Boy were these filters expensive. I did check all bolts I could Get to when I first bought my 2400h in Feb of this year. I have read post on TBN that guys found lose bolts right out of factory , thats scary. This tractor has performed great for Its capasity so far , no problems

If you can't see the pdf or download, let me know and I'll upload to a cloud so it's easier for you since this is a UK website.

ptsg, GOT IT and thank you, was reading and came to a section called ‘wheel tread adjustment ‘ totally over my head do you know what this means ?

They mean the adjustment of the wheel from side to side to get either a wider or narrow tractor. Depending on your needs. Although they explain it on a really odd way. By the way, since this manual is from a UK Branson website, you'll eventually find a couple of things that might not apply to you as the US and European models can have some minor differences from each other.

I'll give you my example, I have a F36R, same as the 3515R in the US, however, mine doesn't come with DPF, have a different lift arms and drawbar. Maybe a couple more that I can't remember now. In your case, the DPF thing doesn't apply to you as they only fit it on tractor with more than 26 HP I believe.

I got a full set of Branson Manuals with my 2400. Pretty much spells out what you need. Finding a loose bolt can happen considering multiple workers on a production line making hundred-thousands of units per year. I found a couple on my 6530 where the loader mounted, which I'm sure was done here in the USA, not in Korea. None found on the 2400.

Learning the business takes time. I've been at it 40 years and still learn something every day. Keep asking questions and use good judgement....I call it common sense.

OEM filters are expensive no doubt. However there are options. Filters are made by filter manufacturers. Branson manufactures tractors! www-ing a number usually brings up numerous replies. Filters are no exceptions. ebay is a wonderful tool. Good luck.

If your tractor has two piece rims, a center section with lug nuts or bolts like your truck wheel does and also an outer rim which fastens to the center you will have a multitude of thread spacing available to you.

As can be seen the outer rim section can be bolted to the center with the loops inside or outside of the center, also the loops are not centered on the out piece of the wheel so they can be rotated or used on the other side and again bolted on either inside or out side the center, that allows for four different treads widths, also some centers can be flipped in or out providing even more

Dave's Tractors is the BEST. From the owner down, their service is unsurpassed.

I recently bought a top and tilt kit from them and Jared walked me through the install, sending me exploded parts views as well as assembly photos and instructions.

With Jared's help it's a cinch.
